| Lee___ | Anyone know if there is a way with mupdf to generate 8-bit indexed png images instead of what appears to be 24-bit? Ghostscript provides this option but using mudraw I don't see it and I am looking through the code to see if there is some way to do this | 08:35.07 |
| tkamppeter | A question: Does linerization of PDF output via -dFastWebView also improve printing performance? And does -dFastWebView reduce output quality (resolution)? | 10:10.47 |
| Marcelo_ | Hi there | 14:12.00 |
| alexcher | tkamppeter: Linerization can improve printing time but usually doesn't. Linearization just reorders the objects and adds hints. The content and the quality stay the same. | 14:19.15 |
| henrys | tkamppeter:we are putting ghostscript color management in mupdf what else can we do to make it a candidate for the ubuntu mobile platform PDF viewer. You mentioned printing can you elaborate on that. Is there documentation or a roadmap somewhere? | 14:40.57 |
| | missing question marks in various places above. | 14:41.24 |
| | kens:trying to stay awake? | 14:49.09 |
| kens | Hi henrys, yes, just arrived home, need to stay awake for another 6 or 7 hours | 14:49.28 |
| henrys | robin_watts_mac: I was trying to remember the name of the main drag down there - Duvall: http://www.seefloridaonline.com/duval/ | 14:53.36 |
| | just about everything you can do in key west is "near Duvall" | 14:55.04 |
| robin_watts_mac | henrys: Yeah. Ran past that this morning. | 15:05.32 |
| henrys | Sabrina says eat the fried conchs | 15:06.13 |
| robin_watts_mac | sea food... not for me. But I'll tell Paul :) | 15:06.41 |
| | Poor Scott ended up in hospital to be given fluids :( | 15:06.58 |
| | should be flying home this morning. | 15:07.13 |
| henrys | I had no idea I'll text him. | 15:07.22 |
| | does he think it was the pork? | 15:07.33 |
| robin_watts_mac | I reckon it was Norovirus. | 15:08.31 |
| | Miami had an outbreak last week, apparently. | 15:08.53 |
| | ok, heading out now. ttyl! | 15:09.43 |
| henrys | marcosw_:I think 256 was too small in hindsight but I'll deal with it. | 15:13.34 |
| marcosw_ | henrys: has it already shipped? can't you call them and change the order? | 15:14.23 |
| henrys | maybe I will | 15:14.47 |
| | it shipped | 15:16.32 |
| | marcosw_:I think I can squeeze in. I need enough for your cluster stuff, the system and my devel. environment... | 15:18.39 |
| | you are 137G which seems about minimal. | 15:18.58 |
| | or marcosw__ ^^^ | 15:21.17 |
| marcosw__ | 137G? you sure? I have a 100G volume on amazon cluster node and there is 20G left over. | 15:23.14 |
| henrys | yes I just checked | 15:26.23 |
| | marcosw__ ^^^ | 15:26.53 |
| marcosw__ | weird. I wonder if there are some left over files in user directory. occasionally someone clusterpushes a job that emits lots of debugging files. Let me check... | 15:27.45 |
| | the /Users/marcosw/cluster directory is 82G. I think you must have looked at the total ~marcosw size, which includes a copy of the cluster code from before the svn -> git transition, it's 50+G and not needed since the git cluster code appears to be working :-) | 15:31.27 |
| henrys | oh I'm sorry yes I was looking at /Users/marcosw | 15:37.04 |
| | I am not backing up your home directories on either marcosw__ or henrysx6 marcosw__ (BTW) | 15:38.19 |
| marcosw__ | henrys: I've cleaned up the old crap, so that should be closer to 80G. | 15:38.36 |
| | I don't keep anything on your machines that I care about, so you don't need to back it up. | 15:40.36 |
| | henrys: btw, if you are brave you could configure the new SSD card and your current hard drive as a fusion volume. There is information on how to do that on the internets. Mac OS X automagically puts frequently used files on the SSD (not as a simple cache, but apparently intelligently). | 15:43.31 |
| henrys | I might try that but I'd like to get some performance measurements first with a regular configuration marcosw__. | 15:45.26 |
| | marcosw__:actually I'm enjoying decrapifying my drive | 15:47.46 |
| henrys_ | marccosw__ I don't recall seeing that recent support request before | 16:04.19 |
| henrys | marcows__:did you do something to Mac Pro and henrysx6? they seem to be working okay but the dashboard has them down. | 16:06.36 |
| _schulte_ | is it possible to send the mupdf process a signal to switch to the next slide? | 17:57.09 |
| | this patch http://sprunge.us/EJKe implements this functionality, any chance you'd want to apply it? | 18:20.32 |
| | I could add a man-page patch too if that helps | 18:21.01 |
| | http://sprunge.us/DUCj <- updates man page as well | 18:28.52 |
| tkamppeter | henrys, hi | 18:48.57 |
| henrys | hello tkamppeter how are you? | 18:49.42 |
| ghostbot | henrys: eh, ok | 18:49.42 |
| tkamppeter | henrys, if mupdf gets used on mobile, it has to be the only PDF renderer, no Ghostscript and no Poppler should be on the system, to save resources. It also should be less resource-consuming and more efficient than GS and Poppler. | 18:51.29 |
| | henrys, it should once be the PDF viewer but also the PDF filter for printing, converting PDF to PostScript, CUPS/PWG Raster, PCL 5c/5e/6/XL. | 18:53.14 |
| henrys | right so we are adding color management that will be ready soon - a month, what else do we need? | 18:53.16 |
| tkamppeter | henrys, it should be usable also without GUI, so that it can be used as print converter as I described. | 18:54.24 |
| | henrys, it should be able to handle high resolutions on low memory/CPU speed/battery. | 18:55.09 |
| | henrys, it should have high compatibility with quirky printer hardware. | 18:55.42 |
| | henrys, there should be CUPS filter frontends/wrappers: pdftops, pdftoraster, ... perhaps also pdftopdf (so also QPDF can be saved out). | 18:57.22 |
| henrys | Okay we'll see what the mupdf folks have to say, probably a bit much. To me it seems you aren't looking at the important issues - I think of annotations, reflow - things like that for mobile. | 18:59.14 |
| mvrhel_laptop | right. mobile document work flow needs are a bit different than the desktop needs | 19:00.46 |
| henrys | tkamppeter: ^^^ | 19:02.32 |
| | black smoke over the sistine - new pope ⦠this is so weird | 19:06.40 |
| mvrhel_laptop | that was fast | 19:10.41 |
| henrys | but the new york times says black smoke means no pope - Oh my I'm very confused. | 19:12.19 |
| mvrhel_laptop | oh that is right it is white smoke | 19:12.31 |
| | that means they picked | 19:12.36 |
| henrys | cnn said new and nyt said no | 19:13.01 |
| | but black has got to be no | 19:13.16 |
| mvrhel_laptop | you are not the only one confused then | 19:13.17 |
| | ok. have the ARM, x64 and Win32 debug and release compiling in the winRT app now | 19:13.57 |
| | now to try my remote debug... | 19:14.13 |
| henrys | tkamppeter: we could get you all that stuff very quickly by integrating all of ghostscript into mupdf - after stripping out unnecessary drivers and such, but that might have too large a footprint - not sure. | 19:19.08 |
| | tkamppeter: several of the mupdf folks just flew home yesterday and haven't gotten back yet, but they will read the logs and your comments and we'll get back with you. | 19:20.29 |
| | tor8 good trip? | 20:11.18 |
| tor8 | henrys: bumpiest flight ever | 20:20.56 |
| | and an hour's delay so I missed the connection | 20:21.05 |
| | other than that, I'm home safe and sound :) | 20:21.14 |
| robin_watts_mac | My God.Spring break. Key West is a zoo! | 21:16.00 |
| henrys | robin_watts_mac: yes it is that time of year. | 21:32.30 |
| | I'm actually done with my bullshit and can start working. Hard to believe... | 22:05.58 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2013/03/13)>>> | |
